The dielectric absorption of nitromethane, benzonitrile, and acetonitrile and their binary mixtures has been studied in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in dilute benzene solutions. The data on static and optical permittivities at 20 °C have also been obtained, from measurements at 100 kHz and from measuring the refractive index for sodium-D lines, for a few cases. These data have been used to determine the relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated state. The results obtained have been discussed in terms of the molecular motion of the systems. A new empirical relation has been proposed to represent the relaxation behaviour of a system of two Debye-type polar components in a nonpolar solvent. The relation has been tested, along with a previously suggested relation, by comparing the calculated values with those determined experimentally.

The dielectric absorption of quinoline, isoquinoline, and their binary mixtures has been studied in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in dilute benzene and n-heptane solutions. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated state have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results obtained have been discussed in terms of the molecular motion of the system. A relation has been proposed to represent the relaxation behavior of a system of two Debye-type polar components in a non-polar solvent. The relation has been tested by comparing the calculated values with those determined experimentally for a few systems consisting of similar, simple rigid polar molecules.

The dielectric relaxation processes of acetone, cyclohexanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, and 4-heptanone in dilute nonpolar solvents, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride have been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 10 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation and compared, wherever possible, with other similar studies on aliphatic molecules.

The dielectric absorption of dilute solutions of nitrobenzene, chlorobenzene, and their mixtures in cyclohexane and Decalin® have been measured in the microwave region at three temperatures between 20 and 40 °C. The relaxation times and thermodynamic parameters are determined. A single relaxation time is found for the mixtures, and the results are discussed.

The dielectric absorption of solutions of 2-hexanone, 4- and 5-nonanone, and 2-decanone has been examined in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in n-heptane, cyclohexane, and benzene. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The values of relaxation time are in reasonable agreement at the temperature at which there are available known data. Both the relaxation behavior and the thermodynamic processes are discussed and, where possible, compared with corresponding results of the other workers.

The compound K3Sb5O14 was synthetisized single-phase and examined by means of dielectric spectroscopy from 30 Hz to 10 MHz. Three separate regions of dielectric absorption with broad distributions of relaxation times have been found. Temperature-dependend measurements up to 200 °C yielded enthalpies of activation between 15 and 20 kcal/mole.

Dielectric constant and loss data at up to nine microwave frequencies have been obtained for 1-butanol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,7-heptanediol, 1,8-octanediol, 1,10-decanediol, and 1,12-do-decanediol at 25 °C, and for 1,6-hexanediol at 15, 25, 40, and 55 °C, in p-dioxane. In each case the dielectric dispersion is adequately described by a Cole-Cole distribution. The relaxation times for the diols are almost independent of the length of the alkyl group. An intramolecular relaxation process appears to be primarily responsible for the dielectric absorption.

Dielectric absorption measurements are reported at radio and microwave frequencies (at six different wavelengths) for acetylacetone and benzoylacetone solutions in benzene, in a temperature range 25–60 °C. Analysis of dielectric data in terms of Cole–Cole arc plots and multiple relaxation processes reveals that, at higher temperatures, overall molecular relaxation is the dominant relaxation mechanism in these β-diketones. The observed relaxation times, distribution parameters, and dipole moments are in reasonable agreement with the few data reported for some temperatures, in the literature. The activation energy parameters are also evaluated assuming dielectric relaxation to be a rate process. Molar polarization vs. weight fraction (concentration) plots show anomalous behaviour for acetylacetone. Keywords: dielectric properties, dielectric losses, relaxation times, dipole moment, dielectric absorption and dispersion, microwave measurements.

The dielectric absorption of several aliphatic esters has been examined in the microwave region over a range of temperatures in n-heptane, cyclohexane, and benzene. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The values of the relaxation time for those solutions for which there are available known data agree well with other determinations. The relaxation times and the various molar activation parameters have been discussed in terms of dipole reorientation by molecular and intramolecular rotation. It would appear that the relaxation behavior of aliphatic esters is similar to that for other aliphatic molecules, such as aliphatic ketones studied previously.

The dielectric absorption of benzene solutions of some monosubstituted benzenes and their mixtures has been studied in the microwave region over a temperature range 6 to 60 °C. The relaxation times and the thermodynamic parameters for the activated states have been determined using the measured dielectric data. The results obtained have been discussed in terms of the molecular motion of the system. The values of relaxation time for single polar component solutions are in reasonable agreement at temperatures at which there are available known data. The relaxation times for the mixtures are consistent with the results obtained by other workers for simple liquid mixtures of polar molecules in dilute solutions which they investigated.
